Kindle Notes & Highlights
Naheim was the typical nigga that came home from prison and just wanted to fall into some pussy. He wasn’t worried about the fact that he was married or that Capri loved his dirty draws. I was surprised that she even married him.
now wished someone would’ve told capri before she entertained his ass
“Capone is always going to take care of me.” “Not if he knew the real reason you befriended his sister. Be real, Ella, you know Capri comes before you. If he found out that you purposely became that girl’s friend to get with him, you think he would give a fuck about you?”
wow as if ella wasn’t already foul—
One thing led to another, and Capri invited us to hang out with her. She had a condo, and she offered for us to chill on her roof top. I made sure I cozied up to her and pretended like we were so inseparable.
thats sooo fucked up to use that girl for her brother
Even though I started with a hidden agenda, I started to care about the Delgato family. Even though his mother wasn’t a fan of mine, she treated me fair. Capri got busy with her life, and I was more concerned with Capone. I made sure to be there whenever he called. If he needed me, I was on my way to him.
no wonder she’s delusional over him
Capri tried to be there, and I was just angry. I don’t know why I was so angry with her, but I was. She tried to insert herself everywhere and wanted to help. I didn’t need help, I needed to be alone, and she refused to give that to me. I had distanced myself from her months ago and here she was trying to pop up and be the best friend. It was what I heard when she had come over that solidified me never talking to her again.
👀
“Why the fuck do you think she would want fresh air? She lost our fucking baby, Capri. I don’t even want fresh air… I want my fucking baby back,” he broke down crying.
i know losing their baby girl must’ve been so tough but to read him sobbing breaks my heart
“You both went through something traumatic. Don’t forget the reason that you both decided to end things in the first place. As friends, you guys are great. In a relationship you both were toxic together. Be here for her as long as you need to be, but don’t rush back into a relationship because you both are hurting.”
so this is the reason why ella shunned capri from her life? GIRL IT’S THE GODDAMN TRUTH WHAT YOU MEAN!?!
After that day, I stopped dealing with her and wanted nothing to do with her. I kept it cute whenever we attended functions together, other than that we didn’t speak, and I preferred it that way.
girl bye! capri was right though—yall were too toxic even capone though so too
Either way, it was safer to move in with Capone until things settled down. It didn’t matter how much I told this man that this was temporary, he ignored me.
it’s because your wifey so that’s your house too boo
I was slowly falling asleep when I heard Capone Jr.’s voice. “Jaiden!” “Hey C-man. What are you doing here?” Jaiden smiled, pausing his game, and taking the headset off.
cj loves himself some jaiden so cute!
I’ve never felt this strongly about someone and I did love him, too. When he told me that he loved me, I wanted to say it back. I froze because I was scared he wouldn’t think it wasn’t genuine.
SHE LOVES HIM TOO YESSSSSSS
I understood not everyone could afford to take a leave of absence from work. However, Shannon didn’t call to check in on her daughter unless I called her. The only reason I knew she was coming tomorrow was because I called her.
on god her mother is useless
“We cannot move in together so soon. What will everyone think?” He cocked his head back and had this be serious expression on his face. “As if I give a fuck what anyone would say, and I really don’t give a fuck what they will think. In case you didn’t know, I do whatever the fuck I want with what’s mine.” He grabbed my ass and I squealed, looking around.
*bites finger*
“Code blue. Code blue.” We heard yelling from the loudspeaker and a bunch of nurses ran from the rooms down the hall to the other end of the hall. “Is tha—” “Joie’s room,”
oh god no don’t play with me C’MON NOW
“Call the time of death,” he told the nurse standing across from him. “Nooo!” I screamed and fell to the floor.
NOT JOIE SHE WAS SO YOUNG OH MY GOD
NAH THAT TIMMY NIGGA GOTTA DIE BRUH
Jaiden would never recover. He would be heartbroken because he loved Joie. He wanted to be with her and was making plans for them in the future. As angry as I was with him about getting her pregnant, I was going to support him.
he loved that girl oh my god first their baby now his girlfriend
Jaiden was too young to mourn the death of our parents. It was the one good thing that came out of that situation. Besides friends that he had lost to gun violence, he had never had to mourn someone so close to him. Someone that he had been in love with. A person he had been connected to spiritually, emotionally, and sexually.
lord this is gonna kill him bruh
An unrecognizable sound came from my brother as he screamed out. Capone put his arms around him and tried to hug him as he fought to get his IVs out his arm and move out the bed.
MY BABY JAIDEN
My hands shook as I held onto CJ, who turned his head to look at me. He hugged me around the neck and patted my back, which caused me to lose my shit more. This baby boy was consoling me because he saw his father doing it.
not CJ consoling erin 😢
Capone looked toward me and mouthed I love you. I replied back. I love you, too.
❤️
“How is Jaiden doing today?” “In pain, but you know he’s trying to pretend he’s all hard and can handle it. Jo told me he was crying like a baby the other night for pain meds.” “Not too much on my man now, Erin,” Joie waved me off,
joie loved that man and now she’s gone 💔
He was numb. His eyes were focused on the floor as the nurse spoke directly to him. I wished she would have saw that he wasn’t listening. How could he listen to her when he lost his girlfriend down the hall.
i just wanna give him a hug
Joie had a pulmonary embolism, a blood clot that broke free and traveled to her lungs.
awww damn
Welcome home, Gorgeous. Be ready to get that back cracked every night. Love, Capone.
i love this for her
“Capone, did you buy the entire store?” “I didn’t know the size or flow or whatever the chick was chatting about.” I tossed my arms around his neck and kissed him on the lips. “You are the sweetest.”
“You know you getting some tonight, right?” He smirked, slapping my ass in the process. “You read the card. I already knew it was going down.”
“I never knew what to do with this small closet. The builders didn’t really need to add it, but I thought it would be good for hanging your wigs up.”
girl if you don’t get on your knees and give him that GAWK GAWK 3000
I respected it because when it was just me, I didn’t have nobody to talk to anyway. She liked to take long showers at night, and she had to read before bed. After almost every meal she drank a peppermint tea with a hibiscus tea bag tossed in. This wasn’t shit that she told me either. I just watched her intensely so I could learn about my lady.
His best friend tried to kill him, he lost his girlfriend, and he moved to a new house. That was a lot of shit for an adult to process and here he was sixteen having to process it.
and he’s barely 18 going through all this
Erin’s ass was adamant on calling me damn Winston. Typical Caribbean parents with the jacked middle names. I guess I should be grateful because Cappadonna’s middle name was Leroy.
LEROY KAHSKSJSKS CARIBBEAN ASS NAME
“Yo, he gone,” Naheim said through the line. I leaned up, holding my baby close to me. “The fuck you mean.” “Done. One of son-son’s people got to him.” I already knew what he was saying. One of Trill’s people had gotten to Timmy already.
thank god his ass is dead
I rolled Jaiden over toward the coffin and he looked away with tears in his eyes. Everyone spoke to him, and he couldn’t get the words out. “You going to regret not saying goodbye, Kid,” I whispered into his ear, and he turned to look at her. His hands shook as he reached inside and touched her hand.
it’s nothing worse than losing your first love to a gun
CJ got his height from me and his uncle. At seven, he was already half his mother’s height.
where has the time go he’s getting so big 🥺
“Since when you tell me how to run my shit? This ain’t fucking Target. Mind your business, Ella. Her shit ain’t yours and if you knew what I did, you wouldn’t be defending her.”
🤣🤣🤣🤣
“Yess! We can watch both of them in the theater. Right, Dad?” “Yeah, CJ.” I inwardly groaned. If they needed someone to do the voice overs for that movie, I could probably do it without needing the script. This boy has made me watch the movies more times than one.
LMFAOOOSJSJSJ
“Winnie, I'm trying to focus.” I leaned up. “Oh, fuck no, Erin. You not about to run around calling me no damn Winnie.”
I didn’t want her returning back to work. Call me selfish, I didn’t give a fuck. I wasn’t even one of those men that wanted their woman barefoot and pregnant. I just didn’t want her working anymore. I’d rather her doing something she actually wanted to do, not what she always had to do. It was one thing if Erin enjoyed her job, then I would let it rock.
*sigh* i want erin’s life
That was where I fucked up. Erin wasn’t every woman on the street. This was the reason that I had fallen for her. She did shit on her own terms and was independent. Fuck.
I stared across the table at my husband as he checked his phone again. We were supposed to be on date night, and he couldn’t stop pausing our conversation to check his phone.
is he deadass right now
Things had been tense around our house. I felt like something was different with my husband and I couldn’t put my finger on it. Something changed with him.
oh baby you’ll find out soon
Naheim was my world, and I didn’t want to ever lose him. The thought that he could have betrayed me and our marriage made me feel sick. There was a moment in our marriage when I was focused on school more than him. I could have been more present and given him more time that he needed. Fuck that.
exactly fuck you thought for apologizing
When I tried to be there for Ella, I remember I showed up nearly every day to be there. Maybe that was the reason she pulled back from our friendship. I didn’t want Erin to feel like I was smothering her, so I hung back to give her space.
nooooo sweetie thats want on you, that was on ella’s delusional ass
My gut had been saving my ass since I was a teen, so I always believed her. Naheim was hiding something, and I knew it would come out soon.
I followed behind her as she walked through the house like she owned it. It looked good on her, and I knew my brother was pleased with her being here.
IKTR
He walked around the counter and grabbed a banana. “Erin, can I have some lunch, too?” “Of course, Babes. Do you want me to pick the onions out the rice?” I smiled because she already knew he hated onions. “Please.” She pinched his cheeks. “Of course. Go check in on Jaiden and make sure he’s doing everything right.” “Yes ma’am.”
she’s a natural with kids 🥹
He walked around the counter and kissed Erin and she brushed him off. His focus was no longer on talking to me, he was focused on Erin. “Aye, come ‘ere real quick.”
he’s about to handle her ass 🤣🤣😭
“Lose that fucking attitude, Erin,” I heard my brother growl. “Tell me you done giving me attitude.” “Umm hmm, yes. I’m sorr…” “Use your words, Erin. I can’t hear you now. What happened to all that mouth you had before… Go ‘head, throw it back.” I heard a slap, and I just knew it was some ass,
LMAOSJSKSHSJ HE FUCKING THAT ATTITUDE OUTTA HER
She knew that I knew what was up, so it wasn’t like she could hide it. It wasn’t that because I heard her, I could tell when someone had that act right dick, and that was exactly what Erin had been given.
yeah.yeah: I miss you.
YEAH YEAH?!?!! WHO YOU FEELING LIKE CAPRI
“Focus, nigga.” “I don’t give a fuck about that little nigga Timmy. I hope Tasha’s ass cried and tossed herself in the coffin with him.”
AND DON’T
